Introduction
Pico Neo 3 Pro is part of the Pico VR.
On May 10, 2021, Pico Interactive announced an extension to their Neo 3 line - the Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye. These devices are the next generation for enterprise-grade VR solutions and a notable upgrade from the Pico Neo 2 line. The Neo 3 Pro and 3 Pro Eye are set for release in the latter half of 2021 and will be available in western markets including North America and Europe.
The enterprise options in the Neo 3 line have similar specs to the consumer-level Neo 3. They have the same Snapdragon XR2 processor, Wifi 6 capabilities, and 4 cameras to name a few. The Neo 3 is only available in China, whereas the 3 Pro and 3 Pro Eye will be available in the west.[1]

Hardware
The Neo 3 Pro and 3 Pro Eye can stream PC games through Direct Mode by way of a Displayport cable and the Pico VR streaming assistant. Direct Mode is "a high-performance, low-latency way to render PC VR content to Pico HMD display."[2]
Like its predecessors, the Neo 3 line is counterbalanced by having the battery pack on the rear of the headset. Like the Pico Neo 2 Eye, the Neo 3 Pro Eye also has eye tracking powered by the Swedish company Tobii.
Compare the enterprise options in the Neo 3 line to the Neo 2 line:

| Cameras | 4 | 2 |
| FOV | 98 degrees | 101 degrees |
| IPD | manually adjustable, 3 settings | software adjustable |
| Play Space | 10x10m | 3x3m |
